DARTON GROUP Consulting, LLC

The corporate culture at DARTON GROUP Consulting, LLC is focused primarily on philanthropy. Rochelle Rivas says DARTON is “wildly passionate” about giving back to the Charlotte region. The company focuses that passion on supporting local nonprofits, and encourages employees to take action as well. For every 1,000 hours of straight time worked, DARTON pays four hours of service time to employees who want to volunteer for a Charlotte nonprofit. Additionally, members of the company’s leadership team sit on multiple nonprofit boards, serve as volunteer softball coaches and encourage employees to do the same. To give back to its employees, DARTON offers a robust benefits plan and allows for company-sponsored professional development. The company also organizes employee contests to foster teambuilding.

“The workplace should not be something that people dread every day. Employees should look forward to going to their jobs.”
